Only You Can Make Me Cry Lyrics

She left a man in Reno just to bleed him dry

And then she headed for Detroit

Where the summer goes to die

Yeah, there's nothing quite like losing

So let me dry your eyes as I ask why

I ask why

You must abuse me

You stick the knife right through me

Yes, only you can make me cry

She had a son in Pittsburgh but quickly gave him up

Then she drove out for the East Coast

Where the door was nearly shut

Yeah, there's nothing quite like losing

When you feel it in your gut

So I ask why

I ask why

You must abuse me

You stick the knife right through me

Yes, only you can make me cry

Keep crying, let the waters run

Let the waters run and wash me away

Keep crying, let the waters run

Wash away my sins

Yeah, you wash them away

I ask why

You must abuse me

You stick the knife right through me

Yes, only you can make me cry

I ask why

You must confuse me

You always seem to use me

Yes, only you can make me cry
